STRATEGIC INTERNATIONAL BRANDS -3% Organic growth is defined in note 5.5 - Definitions and reconciliation of alternative performance indicators with IFRS indicators of the Management Report of the FY20 (1) Universal Registration Document. 51.9 48.3 -10% -7%

Net sales for FY20 totalled €8,448 million, with an organic decline of -9.5% (-8.0% reported, including a favourable foreign exchange impact due chiefly to the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro): Net sales growth in the first half was robust but the second half was impacted by Covid-19. For FY20, the trends by region were: Americas: -6%, with good resilience in USA (1) and Canada in slight y growth, but double-digit decline in Latin America and Travel Retail; Asia-RoW: -14%, driven mainly by China, India and Travel Retail, y against a high basis of comparison; Europe: -6%, overall good resilience with Germany, UK and Eastern y Europe growing and partially offsetting declines in Travel Retail, Spain and France.

Key categories were impacted by the pandemic, but Specialty Brands performed well: Strategic International Brands: -10%, after broad-based growth in the y first half, mainly driven by Martell, Chivas Regal, Absolut and Ballantine’s; Strategic Local Brands: -9%, with modest growth at the end of the y first nine months, but a strong decline in the fourth quarter, mainly due to Seagram's Indian whiskies, and amplified by the high comparison basis; Specialty Brands: +7%, despite Covid-19, thanks to more favourable y geographic exposure, with dynamic growth of Lillet, Altos and Redbreast; Strategic wines: -4%, due mainly to Jacob’s Creek, and despite the y growth of Campo Viejo. Fourth quarter net sales were €1,238 million in FY20, with an organic decline of -36.2% (-37.9% reported), strongly impacted by the progression of the Covid-19 pandemic throughout the world, particularly for Travel Retail and On-trade. The Off-trade held up better than expected, notably in the USA and Europe.

(1) Sell-out at +2% (internal estimate).
